ELon knows nothing about anything. The total turnout from 30 anti-immigrant protests will be about 3 o 4000 - drunken yobs mostly. Left protests are sober and usually less violent. Most are under 100, a handful get as big as 3-400. Often counter-protests are larger./
It’s been interesting the way social media has been used to make it seem like more people think something than they do. I think crowd sizes at marches, etc. are a better indicator of sentiment, because you have to be worked up to go to a march. What you say about crowd sizes is accurate.
